    Hi,
    I'm using RC3 (from iso) upgraded to RC4=2E When running:

    echo -n | openssl dgst -whirlpool

    I'm getting "initialization error", although whirlpool is in the list of s= upported algorithms=2E Same thing for shake128 and shake256, but without an=
    y message (exit status is 1)=2E Same errors for any other inputs=2E ------CTA9TU8EVSHGG5Z9O8PVSCPO7GHCMF

    Here you need -provider legacy.

    I'm getting "initialization error", although whirlpool is in the
    list of supported algorithms. Same thing for shake128 and shake256,
    but without any message (exit status is 1). Same errors for any
    other inputs.

    Here you need '-xoflen length'. See openssl-dgst man page.

    I realize this is a tangent, but `echo -n` is unsafe. In this case,
    since you are not printing anything, you can simply use `true|`, `:|`,
    or `</dev/null` instead of `echo -n|`. In other cases, use printf(1).

    Thank you=2E But I simply forgot we're now using openssl v3 and not v1 (jum= ping from FBSD 13 to 15)!
